I was camping a couple weeks ago, way out 20 miles from any town, 5000ft up near Cherry Lake, Ca.
Our friends had already went to bed, so my Wife and I layed back and watched for shooting stars and satellite's.
We had seen a couple of each and then I spotted a satellite moving right above us. I pointed it out to my Wife, but she couldn't spot it. So I took out a small laser pointer, but it was useless. Then I pulled out my Cree LED flashlight with a T6, and the beam helped her spot the satellite.
After a few moments, the satellite seemed like it stopped and was coming stright down at us, with a light like the landing light on a plane!!
It scared the heck out of my Wife and I started getting nervious, like where's the Glock.
It seemed like it came directly at us for 8-10 seconds with a light that was many times brighter than any star or planet in the sky, then suddenly the light shut off and it resumed its course!
We looked at each other and said "What the Heck??"
Any one ever see anything like that? Butch
